A sulfate-free gel cleanser for face and body, built on Aquabeautine XL at 1% with songyi mushroom extract.

Restorsea describes the enzyme as cleaving dead surface cells so that dirt and sebum lift and rinse away, leaving pores clear. Because the exfoliation is enzymatic rather than acid or grit, it does not carry the sting that catches sensitized skin at a glycolic or the microtears that come with a scrub.

Best for normal to oily skin, and for anyone using acids or retinoids elsewhere in a routine who does not want a second exfoliant in the cleanser. Ideal morning and evening, on face or body.

Enzymatic exfoliation rather than acid, so it suits skin that stings at a glycolic.

Sulfate-free, and cleared for body as well as face.

Works alongside a retinoid or an acid elsewhere in the routine without stacking a second exfoliant into the cleanse.

No parabens, phthalates, silicones, sulfates, PEGs or mineral oil. Dermatologist tested. Hypoallergenic.

Wet hands and face. Apply one pump to the hands and work over the face in a circular motion. Rinse well. Use morning and evening.

Restorsea was founded by Patti Pao and built around Aquabeautine XL, a hatching enzyme filtered from the water that baby salmon hatch in. In the hatchery the enzyme dissolves the eggshell membrane without harming the fish inside. On skin, the brand positions it as an exfoliant that works on dead surface cells rather than on living tissue.
